SECRETARY BATARD ON THE TARIFF.
WASHINGTON, Jan. The president
to day transmitted to the house OF repre-
sentatives letter from the secretary OF
state inclosiug mass of statements from
consular officers of the customs duties
levied by foreign nations upon the pro,
duce and manufactures of the United
States. In his letter Of transmittance
Secretary Btysrd says: In framing This
inquiry only such articles were
included as are exported from
this country to foreign markets,
the object being TO show what burdens
are imposed upon existing commerce, aud
to leave for further inquiry what him
ORANGES or prohibitions are entirely pre-
venting the sale of American products in
competition with the products of other
nations. In future report these
tariffs will he considered in detail,
and their restrictions and retGliatory
features pointed out. Upon the impor-
taGce of this subject at The present time
l need hardly dwell. The demand for
new markets for American products has
become almost imperative, and those
markets must be sought among those
nations which, from physical orprotective
necessity, from the need of revenue or
the desire OF fostering manufacturing
industries, have imposed duties upon ar
ticles of foreign growth or production
which are most onerous and oppressive
not only to the consumer, but to Amer
lean exporters. a COMPARISON between
the tariffs herewith presented and that OF
the United States may point out
in what lines an export trade in
American products may be built up by
judicioas remOdelipg Of our own tariff
In conclusion would call your attention
to the fact that no nation claiming to be
civilized imposes duties upon works OF
art at all commensurate with those levied
under the tariff of the United States.
